What a great game! I played this for hours back when it was released and I did finally make it to (and beat!) the Black Knight level. So many good memories. IMO, the difficulty level was much closer to today's tougher indy games.. Not sure I'd have the patience today. Beyond Dark Castle was fun too, but it was way more sprawling and confusing. DC was just a compact, tight, totally winnable game. Loved it. It being in black and white was not an issue, either. Given the mood and subject, it totally fit. The vertical blanking hack is real typical of Mac software of the era. There were a bunch of things that low-level devs had to use it for, but you had to be careful, as it didn't last very long.
